Outlook
October is here, which usually means volatile weather and aggressive browns, and so far, that’s how it has been. After the storms early this week, we look forward to nicer weather ahead, but the overall temperatures are dropping with the onset of a looming winter. Browns are excited to eat larger proteins like big nymphs and streamers, and other trout have moved in behind, ready to take advantage of the spawn.

Recent Reports
Green River
The Green is still low, with float options dwindling, but fish are isolated and hungry. Deep-diving nymphs and streamers will likely be the flies to use, but you can get away with a dry dropper in some of the shallows.
CFS
Flies to try
Chubby Chernobyl, Tung Tied, Cactus Wooly
New Fork River
The New Fork is low but higher than usual. This offers the ability to still have days with good numbers of fish as they haven’t been forced to migrate to bigger water yet. Big streamers tight to the bank and in deeper pockets is the best way to find the big browns.
CFS
Flies to try
Swim Coach, Precious Metal, Kill-Whitey
Seedskadee
Below Fontenelle, the moss is still present, but not as big of an issue with a wave of cold weather. After this week, the moss problem will likely be a thing of the past. Midge and scud rigs dragging the bottom of long, deep holes will be productive in the coming days and weeks.
CFS
Flies to try
Juan’s Red Ale, Mid-weight Scud, HH Wooly Bugger
Bighorn River
Hopper fishing is slowing down but still good, and as usual, streamer fishing is great for bigger fish. Small dries are still coming off, too. BWO’s and PMD’s have some life left in them, but cooler weather is on the horizon.
CFS
Flies to try
Para-BWO, Film Critic PMD, Yeti Hopper
